Has anyone found good values for blacker, fillin, and o_correction
for the Imagen 24/300?  I have been playing with it for a while,
and it's becoming more difficult to tell what I am looking for
in the output.  One strange thing I have noticed is that the lowercase
y in cmr10 at low magnifications (like magstep .5) looks funny;
the bulb on the tail is hard to make appear (the tail just curls around
about 180 degrees, but there is no bulb).  I can make it appear
with blacker set to 1.5 or so, or with o_correction set to .99 (this
makes other things look real funny though).  At high magnification (magstep
3) the tail looks just fine with various parameters settings.

If you have good parameters for this printer, let me know.  At least
that way I'll have a place to start from!
